Produces this output:

Notice how "x" doesn't even appear on the command line.

However, if I do something like put the <include> line in the sources
section, I get an error "property found in sources" - this tells me
that the site-config.jam is being loaded and processed. Its just that
the include property is not being applied to the resulting build
commands.

Yep, that all works - thanks for confirming!
